The myopic tart that wrote my bike off in Sept has finally admitted liability! She didn't really have much of a chance at not doing so, but she was very reluctant to reply to any (read that as all!) letters from my insco or solicitor, as the 2 attending police motorcyclists put her squarely in the frame, and are prosecuting her! She finally admitted after her own insco assessor laid blame squarely at her door. I mean, it's very difficulty not to be at fault when you have turned right, across the oncoming traffic, from behind a double decker bus that (third party) admits was blocking her view, to get t-boned in the rear offside passenger door at a decent 90 degree angle! and injuring her rear passenger (daughter) [1] sitting in the rear! My Insco, (Aunty Carole) has been brilliant. They agreed to write off the bike and paid me out within the month, less my 300 sovs excess. I've ordered the new bike which won't be here until Crimble as it won't leave the factory until 24th November. Not sure whether to take delivery of the bike around Christmas or ask the to hold it until March and get it on the 07 plate. Opinions please. Anyways up, although a real fucking nuisance and agg all round, All seems at peace with the world now, and I am a happy bunny. Could've been a lot worse. Just waiting for the cheques to roll in now for the damaged goodies (Lid, Jacket, Gps etc) and my arse will be zooming around again soon on a shiny new... <fx/whispers very quietly!> harley <fx/> [1] No not worth it. maybe just old enough to TIUTA but a bit of a minger really. -- Greybeard FLHTCUI UK-07 96 cu-in (Written off after 3 days & 182 miles!)

An Electraglide Ultra classic, to directly replace the previous 3 day old one. Different colour though this time, might be luckier! and I've asked that they don't hand it over to me with 13 miles on the clock ;o) -- Greybeard FLHTCUI UK-07 96 cu-in (Written off after 3 days & 182 miles!)

Nice one, good result. You don't specifically say so, but I assume you're getting your £300 excess back off her insurance too, seeing as how it was completely her fault.
Solicitor has that in hand, along with the other loses. I might be a (nearly) rich person soon.. Nah, doubt it! ) -- Greybeard FLHTCUI UK-07 96 cu-in (Written off after 3 days & 182 miles!)

Oh yes, I've got a solicitor supplied through Auntie Carole, and the legal expenses team to handle that. It's nice to be able to say, "talk to my solicitor" without having to think of the £££'s ringing up! -- Greybeard FLHTCUI UK-07 96 cu-in (Written off after 3 days & 182 miles!)

It doesn't really matter whether she admits it or not from an Insco POV. I know CN has been slagged here recently but this was my experience of them too. Still going to NEC Tuesday? Me is: zero seven eight zero two eight one two triple three
Yep I'll be there. 0 seven eight 9 four. 70 sixty last plus twenty -- Greybeard FLHTCUI UK-07 96 cu-in (Written off after 3 days & 182 miles!) Courtesy of a myopic female driver. FLHTCUI UK-07 Mk II (On order!) Trumpet Trophy 1200 -96, (The Barge) for rainy days. ukrm@foxtails[dot]co[dot]uk
